Needlepoint: A Guide to Beginning Part 1

I wanted to find something that was relatively easy to learn and would provide me an opportunity to create something beautiful while having the chance to shut off my brain for a bit.  Enter needlepoint!  I thought that it would be fun to share and teach how to begin needlepoint, tips and tricks, and finishing options.  So without further adieu, how to begin needlepointing!

My Favorite Jeans

Growing up I loathed wearing jeans.  I thought that they were so prickly and just the most uncomfortable garment to be created.  I boycotted them so strongly that everyday of the 4th grade I would wear sweats to school, both comfortable and functional!  Needless to say, the boys were not chasing after me.  When I hit junior highschool I discovered Abercrombie, Hollister, and 7 for All Mankind jeans.  This was when the game started to change for me.  I found jeans that were soft and felt like I was wearing leggings, I was hooked.  Since then, my jean wardrobe has grown quite a bit and I have found brands that are comfortable, durable, and fairly practical.

Sunday Scaries

As someone who has struggled with anxiety a majority of my life, I find myself trying to cope with the Sunday Scaries most weeks.  If you are not familiar with this term, the Sunday Scaries are the feelings of anxiety that tend to appear Sunday afternoon and evening regarding the impending doom of Monday.  While I do love a routine, finding myself thrown back into the stress and pressure of a work week can be challenging to accept.  Weekends tend to be calm, idealistic, and full of things that I love and choose to do.  They are full of relaxing and reenergizing experiences and habits.   Once Monday rolls around I tend to feel like I am back to being in a little box that is hard to breathe in.  In the midst of feeling anxious, I have tried to implement small comforts into Sunday evenings in an effort to keep myself more calm and relaxed.
